Purpose: By the end of the speech I hope you all will understand the joys and pains of playing jazz on the trumpet.Introduction: (turn off lights) Imagine its night time in New York City. You head over to the village vanguard to see the hottest players in jazz, out do each other on stage. You enter the club it seats about fifty but there's more like 80 all wanting the same thing, to hear John Coltranes sextet perform. (play Lazy Bird up to 1:40). The recording you just heard was from the John Coltrane album titled BLUE TRAIN. Jazz is one of the most difficult genres of music to perform on the trumpet because of its demands on a person's body, technical skill as well as their ability to spontaneously create a melody, also know as improvising. Credibility: You may be asking yourselves what would this young man know about jazz and why should I listen to him.

I would like to leave you all now on a high note by Ella Fitzgerald "It don't mean a thing if it aint got that swing" thank you. All these exercises increase your endurance and ability to improvise. He was about 82 years old and had a bad heart, doctors told him not to perform but his love for the music was too strong. There are numerous other awards presented to me by my school, and I led the jazz ensemble to place fourth at the national invite Monterey jazz festival sponsored by Clint Eastwood. Another incident was at the Newport jazz festival. He did anything it took to please the crowed whether it is detrimental to his health or not. You should also understand that to play something that you may classify as simple takes a lot of work to produce. Shown in a documentary titled Jazz by Ken Burns is Louis Armstrong a jazz trumpeter, known for his high notes. During these practices you do arpeggios, chromatic scales, lip slurs, high notes, long tones and so on. (Explanation of improvising and the joys of music will be explained off the top of the head). Trumpeters blow so hard sometimes that their bodies just can't handle it. In high school I was selected to play in the city honor band, received an award for jazz player of the year, received a scholarship and the semper fidelis award from the United States Marine Corp for excellence in music. One evening on stage he played beyond his usual capabilities in result his lip burst and began to bleed, he ignored the pain and went on just to please the crowd.
